Add Unit Tests and CI Pipeline for Core Functionalities #299
Description
🧪 Feature Request: Add Unit Tests and CI Pipeline for Core Functionalities
Description:
The repository currently lacks automated testing and continuous integration (CI), which are essential for maintaining code quality and reliability. As the project scales, it's important to validate functionalities programmatically and ensure consistency across contributions.
Proposed Solution:
- Unit Tests Implementation:
Add test coverage for core features such as:
Voice command recognition
Command execution logic
Error handling (e.g., speech recognition failures, missing resources)
Role-based command restrictions
Use a testing framework such as unittest or pytest.
- Mocking External Dependencies:
Use mocks for microphone input, speech recognition APIs, and system-level commands to isolate tests.
- CI Pipeline Setup:
Configure GitHub Actions to:
Run unit tests on every pull request and push to main
Perform linting using tools like flake8 or black
Display build/test status badge in README.md
Benefits:
Increases confidence in code changes and reduces manual verification
Encourages a test-driven approach among contributors
Enables early detection of bugs and regressions
Improves long-term maintainability of the project
Additional Suggestions:
Maintain a tests/ directory following standard Python project structure
Optionally include test coverage reporting with coverage.py
